In 2014, the 9th International Conference on Genomics (ICG-9) and the 3rd Shenzhen International Biotechnology Innovation Forum & Expo (SIBIFE-3) will join forces to stage one of the world’s most influential and fruitful annual conferences for the genomics and life science industries. It will bring together a diverse group of attendees and provide a platform to discuss recent advances and establish new collaborations. Shenzhen is one of the most energetic and fast-developing cities in the world.

ICG aims at gathering leaders, researchers and professionals in omics sciences on human health, animal and plant science, agriculture and other related fields, to share thoughts and implications on the latest developments in the world of genomics. Since its inauguration 9 years ago, ICG has proved itself as one of the most dynamic, enthusiastic, and enjoyable gatherings internationally. We have not only been doing science, we have also been cultivating a culture of collaboration. ICG puts everyone together, to do together, to share together and lets communication make a difference.

SIBIFESIBIFE is one of the largest and most influential events in the region with a focus on promoting academic communication, development of new businesses, and industrialization of global biotechnology research and translation.
